A Democrat Flipped A Seat That Has Voted Republican For 113 Years

A Democrat won the mayor's race in Beaver County. When Krasnov was campaigning in his first term the MSM constantly went to Beaver to interview Magats. My daughter used to live 8 miles from Beaver, it has a nice restaurant we ate at and a lovely pastry shop, but the town is full of Magats.

This victory blows my mind.

unless the opponent had done something utterly terrible, this is very good news for us.
